City Of Oneonta Bans Smoking In Parks

The City of Oneonta Common Council voted Tuesday to approve a prohibition on smoking and tobacco use in all city parks and Muller Plaza. The Council received a recommendation for the ban from the City’s Parks and Recreation Commission in September, 2017 after reviewing similar policies in other communities in New York State. A public hearing on the prohibition will be heard at the December 19th Council Meeting before it can be signed into law.
